quilt monday

It was a spur of a moment purchase buying a fat quarter of A Merry Little Christmas. I actually had no idea what I was going to do with it when I thought of doing a small Christmas themed Swoon. 

I have loved baptist fan quilting on these so I had to go with it as well.

It was annoying working with directional fabric but I'm trying to not let it bother me ;)

And with the lovely Swoon leftovers, I made these two minis.

The pinwheel is quilted with straight lines and the other in a continuous spiral(love).

And because I only used 8FQs from the stack I was able to create both of these.

I bought some yardage for the borders and ended up with two lovely Christmas quilts.

I fussy cut the borders; so annoying lol.

I wasn't too found of the next colours in the beginning but now I really like them.

I was short a FQ so I added in the solid teal that I had in my stash.

I love these snowmen.

Now maybe I'll manage to get these quilted before Christmas 2014!

24hours to go. Are you ready?

I got my Christmas Swoon quilted. It just might be on the wall come tomorrow morning!

I quilted two pieces of minkee for a special little girl. I love how the quilting looks textured.

I have all my Christmas presents quilted and have the binding on 3 to finish up. One will get gifted with the binding not sewn down but I can do that while relaxing with family on Christmas Day.

I may not be around much over the next two weeks while I spend time with my family.

From our family to yours, 

Merry Christmas

the naughty list

Remember that stack of fat quarters that followed me home last week?

Well, I figured what to do with some of it.

A Christmas swoon!!

Somehow I goofed and cut the two red ones out the same but I can't let it bother me(much lol). Fingers crossed I can get the top finished up this week(I'm not making it bigger) and that I can get it quilted on the weekend.
